fresh organizer
medium: cement/mortar & spearmint
date: october-december 2004
To deliver a message of self-sustainability, interaction through caring
for something living, and a reminder of the real world outside technology,
I decided to move the outdoors indoors—considering designs involving plants
in modern, urban, and/or or high-tech indoor settings. Here, an intergration
of a spearmint into the existing desk organizer. Besides simply adding foliage
to the workplace, the user cares for the plant and in turn can freshen his
or her breath before that big meeting.
